Children of the Mist I hear your footsteps in
the sand
Across each corner of this wide and empty land.
I see your sorrow, I feel your plight
Of generations past now put to flight.
The curling mist, the gentle touch of rain on my face
could never remove your history from this place.

For Children of the Mist I see your footsteps in the sand
The broken promises were not what your people planned
And now your bones lie scattered across this vast land.
Lost in time, space, spirit, home and generation
But now the mist is clearing and the lost tribe of South Africa
embraces its roots in the new Rainbow nation.

Yes, Children of the Mist, I feel your footsteps
in the sand
Hold your head up high come beside me and make a stand.
The dust has settled and your offspring will enjoy the celebration
For the blood that flows through your veins is our very foundation
And look with pride as the sun now shines through
Embracing you into a world where hope reigns anew.
